This course teaches the use of verbal and nonverbal communication to organize and deliver effective oral presentations. Additional emphasis is placed on identifying and overcoming listening barriers. The number one greatest fear that many people have is speaking in front of a group of people. If the very thought of having to stand in front of a group of people and talk sends shivers up your spine and causes you to break out into a nervous sweat, then that is precisely why you should be taking this class. This course may not completely cure you of this condition, but it will give you the tools you need to overcome your fear and communicate more effectively.
Just as you have a unique writing style, you also have a unique speaking style. In this class, we will work toward developing that style, and you will learn the accepted practices for public speaking and the many ways it can impact your personal and professional life. In order to accomplish these things, this course will focus on the following objectives:
